By applying to join the Baby Bunting New Zealand Loyalty Program you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions as amended from time to time (Terms).
The Baby Bunting New Zealand Loyalty Program replaces all previous loyalty programs operated by Baby Bunting. Baby Bunting may elect to treat you as a Member where you have participated in a previous loyalty program or marketing program operated by Baby Bunting. You will be taken to have agreed to these Terms if, after the date these Terms first come into effect, you transact with Baby Bunting and provide your Baby Bunting Loyalty Identifier or otherwise agree to participate in the Baby Bunting New Zealand Loyalty Program.
Baby Bunting may, at times it considers appropriate, modify these Terms (including terms relating to Benefits) or suspend or cancel the Baby Bunting New Zealand Loyalty Program. If this occurs, Baby Bunting may (but is not required to) notify you of the modification, suspension or cancellation. Without limitation, Baby Bunting reserves the right to transfer Members to another loyalty program owned or operated by Baby Bunting or one of its related bodies corporates.
Membership of the Baby Bunting New Zealand Loyalty Program
An individual can apply to join the Baby Bunting New Zealand Loyalty Program by using the application process permitted by Baby Bunting from time to time (which may allow for completion of an application at different times)
Baby Bunting New Zealand Loyalty Program eligibility is limited to one membership per person. To become a Member, an individual must be 18 years or older, provide a unique and valid email address and a unique New Zealand mobile number and not otherwise be resident in a place where it is illegal to participate in the Baby Bunting New Zealand Loyalty Program. To be a Member, and whilst you are a Member, you must provide Baby Bunting with the information it requests (which is generally your full name, email address, and your mobile number). Additional details may be recorded at the option of the Member. If a Member does not provide or update their details, Baby Bunting may not be able to contact the Member about their membership and Benefits.
An individual becomes a Member on the date specified by Baby Bunting.
An individual may only have one membership in the Baby Bunting New Zealand Loyalty Program. A Member will be provided with a Baby Bunting Loyalty Identifier. A Member’s Benefits (including the Baby Bunting Loyalty Identifier) are not transferrable and cannot be assigned. A Member must provide their Baby Bunting Loyalty Identifier (or another form of identification accepted by Baby Bunting) when transacting with Baby Bunting to receive Benefits.
If you are a Member, you may nominate one person as a secondary holder to your Member Account by providing that person’s full name in store or to Customer Care. A secondary holder cannot be a holder of a Member Account. A secondary holder can redeem Benefits available to a Member when the secondary holder provides the Member’s Baby Bunting Loyalty Identifier at the time of purchase.
Baby Bunting will only send communications related to a Member’s Account to the Member and not the secondary holder.
You may provide the secondary holder with details of your Baby Bunting Loyalty Identifier. However, you must not provide them any passwords required to access your Member Account. Only the Member is authorised to make changes to the Member Account details
By providing information about a secondary holder to Baby Bunting, you represent that you have their permission to give Baby Bunting the information and their authority to be nominated on your Member Account. You or the secondary holder may at any time request to remove the secondary holder from the Member’s Account in store or by contacting Customer Care
If you are a Member, you may request Baby Bunting to update your personal details or cancel your membership at any time in store or by contacting Customer Care. Baby Bunting will seek to action your request as soon as possible.
A person ceases to be a Member on the date determined by Baby Bunting. If you have requested a cancellation, the cancellation will usually take effect on or around that date. Baby Bunting may also terminate or suspend a Member’s membership at any time (for example where a Member fails to comply with these Terms). Any Rewards earned will be forfeited on cancellation of your membership.
To ensure a Baby Bunting Loyalty Identifier is not used in an unauthorised manner, Baby Bunting may require a Member to present proof of identification to enable Baby Bunting to verify the identity of a Member or their compliance with these Terms. However, Baby Bunting is not responsible for any unauthorised use of a Baby Bunting Loyalty Identifier.
Member’s personal information
Baby Bunting is a maternity and baby goods retailer and its core purpose is to support new and expectant parents in the early years of parenthood. For a person to become a Member, they must provide personal information to Baby Bunting, which may include whether or not they are pregnant. In addition, some Benefits may relate to a Member’s child (for example, a child’s developmental milestone or birthday). Benefits of this kind cannot be provided if information about a Member’s child is not provided.
When it operates the Baby Bunting New Zealand Loyalty Program, Baby Bunting will collect information about a Member and, where provided, about a Member’s child (being the child’s due date, birth month and year, and, should you elect to provide it, the child’s first name and gender).
Personal information that Baby Bunting collects will be collected, managed and used in accordance with Baby Bunting’s Privacy Policy (babybunting.co.nz/privacy-policy). Baby Bunting will not share personal information about a Member (or a Member’s child) to third parties for the purpose of marketing.
Benefits
Benefits are determined by Baby Bunting from time to time and may include Rewards, discounts, and Members only offers.
The Benefits available under the Baby Bunting New Zealand Loyalty Program (from time to time) are specified in the Schedule of Benefits.
Marketing and communications
A Member is taken to consent to Baby Bunting contacting them to provide with consumer or marketing information and notifying them of benefits, products or other special offers. A Member may opt out of receiving marketing and other communications from Baby Bunting at any time. Should a Member opt out of receiving marketing communications, Baby Bunting will continue to provide that Member with reward notifications and expiry reminders.
Baby Bunting will not be liable for any communications from Baby Bunting that are misdirected, lost or not received by a Member.
Other terms
Baby Bunting’s decision about all matters arising about the Baby Bunting New Zealand Loyalty Program is final and binding.
If a Technical Issue causes any damage to a computer or other device or results in a Member not receiving or being able to use some or all of a Benefit, a Member should advise Baby Bunting promptly. Baby Bunting will seek to provide that Benefit but it may, where it considers appropriate, refuse to provide the Benefit if the entitlement to, or the amount of, the Benefit is not readily determinable.
Any liability arising out of or in any way connected with a Member’s participation in the Baby Bunting New Zealand Loyalty Program (including any liability for taxation) is the responsibility of that Member (and not Baby Bunting).
Baby Bunting will not be liable for any injury or loss of any kind to a person or a Member, whether because of any act or omission, deliberate or negligent, of Baby Bunting in connection with the Baby Bunting New Zealand Loyalty Program, including injury or loss incurred while participating in any activity of the Baby Bunting New Zealand Loyalty Program or Baby Bunting or in any activity which a Member is invited to participate.
If the terms limiting liability may not lawfully exclude that liability, then the liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
A failure or delay by Baby Bunting to exercise its rights under these terms does not constitute a waiver of any rights. If any part of these Terms is or becomes illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, then that part will be severed and the remainder of these Terms will continue in force. These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria and the parties submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria.
These terms are to be read in conjunction with any additional conditions associated with rewards, including without limitation with the Website terms and conditions and other relevant Baby Bunting policies and/or terms and conditions.
